Re: why does it take so long

Recent history tends my vote toward retaining this feature. Not only with
spam a factor: with a list this large we have a wonderful variety of people with
an even more wonderful variety of responses. We try not to edit for idea
content, but we are trying to keep all discourse civil and considered without
having to expell anyone more than the several we have had to over the years. If
we had had the Moderator interceptor provision in before, we might not have
had to expell anyone, only constrain occasional blunderings over the line of
good taste and reasonable discourse. Things appear to be going reasonably well
underthis provision, I'm sorry that this sometimes occasions delay. - For
which we COULD indeed be happy to have several more here step forward as possible
Moderators. Thank you very much, Christian! ....win

Hi

I vote for removing the feature.

However, if you still keep this feature and if you find me qualified, I

will happily be a moderator of this mailing list. My timezone is GMT+1.

Best regards
